Hi guys (and girls?),

Planning to purchase a Golf R and wanted to get the goss from people that OWN these cars, not just peeps with uninformed opinions. Not sure whether I can wait for the new shape or just bite the bullet and purchase an MY12 or MY13... cheers.

Welcome to the forum. The current R is amazing machine, I'm sure that the new one will be even better, it means you have to make your own decission. If money is not a problem and you have the car to drive in the meantime, then I would say wait for a new one.

I'm driving a Mazda 3 MPS at the moment so no screaming hurry to buy one..just keen to go AWD - drove the rex, evo etc but none had a patch on the Golf R plus the new model looks like it will be a ripper..more modern lines with a few more ponies to add to the equation. I think the only way I will buy a current one is if the price is irresistable.

I live just down the road from Flaggy and prefer using a local mechanic..will keep you in mind
